Cassidy and I have always had a soft spot for tiramisu. It's one of those desserts that feels indulgent and comforting at the same time. One evening, after a long day of recipe testing, we found ourselves craving something sweet but didn't want to spend hours in the kitchen. Lauren remembered a simple vegan tiramisu recipe she had come across, and we decided to give it a try. With just a few ingredients and minimal effort, we whipped up a dessert that was so delightful, it felt like a little victory. Now, it's our go-to treat when we want something quick yet satisfying.
Most of the recipes we (Lauren and Cassidy) make at home come from this cookbook.
It’s our go-to. That’s why we are happy to recommend it to you too.
